Hi Matty

I purchased mine from Ron at Sirius Optics some 3 to 4 years ago – it was quite expensive, well over $300 but it has proven to be one of my best buys in accessories.

It is Japanese made, quality finder scope. The optics and build quality are much superior to my Orion finder scopes and a little better than those in my Vixen finder scopes. The quality seems more on a par with my Tak finder scope.

I’ve dropped in to Sirius Optics several times, most recently just before Xmas and I haven’t seen these items on sale since, which is a pity.

The cross wires and the small circular reticule are very fine whereas my Orion finders have reticules that are more like hawsers in comparison.

My Tak finder has the illuminated cross hairs, but the tiny segment where they cross is “missing” (by design) so you end up with a blank region equivalent in size to the small circles in the centre of the other reticule.

Cheers

Dennis
